  • Dropped into a book round 2!

    I asked this question months back, and the answers were absolutely brilliant, so I thought it would be fun to ask again!

    If you were dropped into the book(s) you are currently reading, where would you be and what would you be doing?

  • I can't express how much this means to me.

    Since social media is being tracked and checked by the gov, I've been feeling extremely alone and like I can't interact with activists and people who are doing good in this world, as I'm scared that association with these people and promoting them to my following will get me or my family in trouble. We are scared that going through our social media at the time we apply for renewals of travel documents (which they said they will supposedly do) they will find a reason to block our renewals and separate us.

    Pagebound feels like a safe heaven. I feel like I can freely interact with people, follow activists and discuss activism. My comments and interactions are safe, since you have to have an account to view posts on Pagebound. I just want to say that this has provided me with such needed outlet where I don't have to be scared. And I feel at peace knowing AI isn't scanning what I post, I feel at peace knowing bots and trolls aren't able to easily get into this space.... I just feel at peace here.

    Thank you to Jennifer and Lucy for this space. I know it's technically just a book platform... but in the world where books are getting banned, where different people have a different ability to read based on their looks and family origins... reading is political. Hosting a reading platform like this is activism. And it's important.

    For so many people it isn't easy to just go out and meet with like-minded people. We may live in a dangerous area. We may be disabled or battling chronic illness. We may be at risk in other ways.... So we meet in places like this.

    For some of us this is our underground meeting room, our gay bar, our protest environment, our third space to recharge and be reminded of the good in this world.

    I'm usually very quiet on here and I mostly find comfort in reading books by myself and then seeing what other people have to say on them, but I really felt like this was important for me to share.

    I am so thankful to the founders, and to you all. Just know, I really care about your posts. I care to read your unfiltered or jumbled thoughts. Actually, they sometimes make my day. I love seeing spelling mistakes because it's another proof things were written by humans, humans who speak different languages and are just trying to conmect. I want to see your favorite quotes, and I want to see that you're salty about this thing or another when it comes to a book... This all matters to me, it matters to this platform. Don't think what you have to say isn't important. I'm not trying to sound "inspirational" or cheesy, I'm really just speaking from the heart.

    Back to my books I go. Love you all 💚
